NYTimes Parenting

John sent me a link to this article on successful parenting. One thing I wish they would have included is how amazing it is to watch your kids become more and more independent by letting them do things themselves. Recently Camillie and Macy started pouring their own drinks, getting their food out themselves, and cleaning up after themselves (they even do dishes!).  Last week a friend came over, and Macy said "we need to clean up our mess" then they cleaned the playroom.  I love it. Not just because I get to be just a bit more lazy.
